KODAKEO or old Takeo pottery is from the Edo Period of Saga Prefecture. It is closely related to Karatsu pottery.
When I saw some of these wares for the first time I thought “ Oh my heart, I’m in love,” As many of you know certain styles, or pieces will call to you....they almost seem to belong to you, are somehow a part of you....and if you are lucky, you can afford to get one! ;)

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI know you said that you aren't taking queries anymore, but I had a quick question. I'm writing a paper for my historical archaeology class on a Meito China teacup, but am having a lot of trouble finding sources in literature, and am not allowed to use online sources. Can you recommend any books? Or is your knowledge largely from personal studies and travels? Thank you :-)
Made in Japan Ceramics Book 4 by Carole Bess White has a brief description on the Meito brand being bought out by Sumitono Steel and then acquired by Narumi.
DeleteMarmie,
DeleteThank you so much! This will be really helpful.
I have a fairly large library but few books give detailed information on Meito China. I’ll try to have a look today to see if there is anything I can recommend.
